Rocky Mountain Bead Bazaar

The Rocky Mountain Bead Society was founded in 1992 by Leslie Sartor as she worked to bring a group of people together with a common passion in the hopes that they would build, support and learn from each other. There were 25 people at that first meeting…today the RMBS boasts a membership of over 200 people.

The Rocky Mountain Bead Society (RMBS) was formed to:
  • Advance the study of and education about beads;
  • Encourage and promote public appreciation for beads and the art of beading;
  • Disseminate information about beads and beading;
  • Develop and administer programs concerning beads and beading;
  • Establish and maintain an RMBS book collection and library; and
  • Publish and preserve writings about the history of beads and beading.
